WINNERS WINNERS WINNERS

I am sure we all feel like we are winners being in PULASKI HIGH SCHOOL CLASS of 1968. For those that were not able to attend the reunion I thought you would like to read the names of those that won our raffles. We were fortunate to be able to raffle off 20 cash prizes along with 24 gift bags. The winners of our cash prizes were: Betsy Rental, Pat Czarnaty, Nancy Matascik, Susan Woja, Jimmy Mitchell, Diane Larkin, Stephen Carey, Madonna Byett, Michael Osga, Marsha Neumeister, Linda Sylvia, Tom Gzyl, Warren Burton, Michael Pina, Jane Baxer, Jean Bonafonte, Pat Wearne, Sandie Mazur, Jimmy Williams, and Karen Rivenberg. The winners of our gift bags were: Peter Zagorsky, Donald Azarigian, Victoria Miklos, Gary Youmans, Joe Piatek, Bob Piorkowski, Susan Willet, Donna Filipek, Nancy Roy, Shirley Gugel, Laura Unguire and Larry Anderson. Our questionnaire winners, without mentioning which category they won for are: (Sorry you had to be there to find out what they won for). Jane Bentley, Delores Koff, Janet Weed, Tom Bocompani, John Vento, Sandie Mazur, Bob Piorkowski, Debbie Bayram, Gary Youmans, Madonna Byett, Karen Rivenberg and Shirley Gugal How come only one committee member (Linda Sylvia) was able to win? Something didn't go as planned. Hope all our winners were pleased with their gifts, we certainly had a great time handing them out, even if Nancy Lamb and I didn't win.

DO PATTI & CO. KNOW HOW TO THROW A PARTY, OR WHAT?

I didn't think that anything would keep me from attending the reunion. But as John Lennon said: "life is what happens while you're making other plans". My family has suffered a terrible loss and I was where I needed to be. Patti called me today and gave me a sneak peek of her photos. Hey, when did you guys get so old? (wink, wink) I thought I was the only one. Actually all of you look so well preserved, I'm feeling a little insecure. It has been a true joy to help with this blog and I hope to keep it going until the next real life meeting, and the next, and the next...... Please share your photos and news, whether you were at the reunion or not. One thing I learned this past week, for the umpteenth time, is that life is indeed shorter than any of us thinks and you need all the friends and family you can muster, to enjoy the good times and survive the bad. So I'm inviting you to continue this uncertain journey together through these pages.
Some things to look for: .......a photo essay of the reunion ........an email directory coming soon to your email box of choice(you must share your address to be on the receiving end of this mailing) .........news of smaller gatherings planned every so often in different locations

Best Reunion Ever????????

After reading everyones' comments, I have come to the conclusion that either we had the greatest reunion in the history of high school reunions or,............we really need to get out more! (Personally I'm sticking with the first choice, although , for me the second is probobly also quite accurate.) In any event..... Our lives have certainly gone in many varied directions. Some have literally been around the world, (amazing). Others have happily lived close to home. We have earned our 'smile' lines and (OK wrinkles), worn out our joints, may be hard to recognize ( sorry Gary), but come on it's been 40 years, but the truly important things have not changed. We still have this underlying lifelong connection. I felt a sense of peaceful friendship. It was amazingly easy to talk to and reconnect with good friends from a very different time and place in our lives. As I go forward on this adventure of life, I look forward to keeping in touch with rekindled friendships. Jean I'll call you next week. I still can't believe we live within walking distance ( well if we were ambitious). Personally I hope we don't wait 5 years to get together in some way. Christmas party?? Meet for drinks??? I'm up for most anything. After all we have definately established the fact that we are a casual (and fun) bunch!! Take care, and enjoy the special moments in each day. Lisa (Dowling) salamon

Sally Way Out West

To the Gang of 68: Wow! The reunion was all I hoped for and more. To see so many familiar faces and realize what a great class we had was so much fun. I can't thank Pat Dezi, Judi Meese, Rosann Faiola, Cliff Cayer and Lou and Phil for all the hard work that went into making that a success. The food was great, the gifts were great, but most of all the Class of 68 was great. I am so proud to have been a part of a group of people that accomplished so much. And do you believe we all talked for 8 hours straight? When I got there I was scared to death thinking I was too this or too that and all that foolishness fell away as soon as I saw all those faces that were near and dear to me. You all looked 18 again to me and were as fun as I remembered you way back when. My buds, Gretchen S(I haven't laughed so hard in years) Marsha N (a mile wide smile as usual) and Lisa D (email me and come to New Mexico to see me-I still want to talk to you about the flower stuff.) Sweet, sweet Cheryl Griffin always with a kind word, Chuckie Searle we just wanted to be your "posse" all over again, Nancy Matascik "you go girl!" Jeannie Bonafonte no wonder you were homecoming queen, Bruce Kraskowsky thanks for the words of encouragement and take good care of Nancy. Steve Carey a surprise kiss on the cheek,and a generous compliment- I wish we could have talked more. Vicky Micklos, keep the faith and email me, I have been on that road you are traveling. Bob Piorkowski, you may have been quiet in PHS, but it was our loss, I wish I had known you better. Kathy Samek, smart and beautiful, we needed talk time. Lou Z, what a woodworker! Keep it going. Patti Dezi, I wish I had known you better in high school. I owe you a great tour someday. Everyone, next reunion lets make more time to catch up. Keep in touch and when we do this again in 5 years, how about making it a destination reunion? Jackson Hole, Santa Fe, Yellowstone, Glacier, Phoenix, Tucson, Colorado Springs anyone? Let's get some ideas going. Fond Memories of the Class of 68 "The Spirit is What We've Got!" Sally (Hornkohl) Bell

Thoughts from Ursula

Hi, PHS classmates - I've found myself thinking about all those I was able to see at the reunion, as well as others who were not able to make it. It has surprised me how much I have gone over and over in my mind how you all are now, what you are doing, what we remember from way back then. Even though four decades have gone by, it hardly felt like being among strangers and, even, like we knew we still had similar views and values (-- there's that overused word again). It was great to see you all, and hope that I can catch up with others some time. I also want to sincerely thank all those who were involved in contacting, organizing, coordinating, engraving, making name tags, buying raffle gifts, compiling bios, sharing desserts, etc. etc. etc. It sure was a lot of work. Your efforts, far above and beyond the call of "duty", made it happen and made the get-together such a fun, memorable experience. Thank you. I put my email address on the list, hope to see you if you're passing through or near southeastern VT. This is a great area for outdoor stuff all year round; and plenty of good coffee shops, tiny theaters, and space to just sit. What a class we were, huh? Take care. Ursula

The Party is Over

Hi, The party might be over but the new memories of the day will linger for quite awhile. I will first appoligize to my friend Patti for giving her such a hard time with working on this reunion, I can honestly say now that all the effort and work we did for 5 months was worth it all! Saturday surpassed all my expectations and from the feedback I received all day everyone love the picnic idea and the casual atmosphere that it generated. The socializing and mingling that I observed all day proved that our class was truly connected back in 1968 and we never lost that feeling for each other. Our lives went in different directions but our years apart melted away on Saturday because of who we were and who we've all become. It was my pleasure working on the committee and I hope to be around to work on the 45th and so on for many years to come. I hope everyone will use this blog to stay in touch and keep our "pit bull patti and her deputies cliff and phil" informed of any email or address changes. Thanks again for all of you that made the day such a success and I hope the ones that could not make it will be able to enjoy the messages and pictures and look forward to our 45th. Judi (Mags) Maglio Meese

40th is over 45th is right around the corner

What a great time had by all. We could not have asked for a better turn out. 105 classmates, 4 teachers and many spouses and guest for a total of over 150 attending. Seeing all your smiling faces, listening to all your wonderful comments let us know how much you all appreciated the hard work and effort that went into our 40th reunion. We were pleased that everyone was happy with the decision to have a PICNIC. Hearing many of you say you prefer a picnic over a more formal event really pleased us. We know we can not please everyone, however I feel we came close to succeeding with this event. I was concerned that an event lasting 8 hours would have some classmates getting bored and leave early, just the opposite happened. We needed more time, I did not get to talk to everyone as I had hoped but I made a great effort trying. The last 20 or so of us didn't want to leave, next time we will have to continue the party elsewhere. We'll leave that thought for another time.
How about those desserts, what a great idea Judi had to have take home containers for everyone. I was able to munch on my way home to Long Island, rethinking the event with every bite as more calories entered my body. Oh well, the diet will start tomorrow.
How about all of our classmates that traveled so far to attend including Alaska, New Mexico, California, Florida, Arizona and Kansas to name a few. If that doesn't say PULASKI'S SPIRIT OF 68 LIVES ON, nothing does. I applaud all of you.
I want to thank Judi, Nancy, and Linda for their part in getting this off the ground. I may have had contact with most of you, however I could not have done it without their help. We are a team that will continue as long as our classmates continue to respond and attend our future events. Now I may need your help to convince the 3 of them to do it all over again in 5 years.
I also would not have had the success in finding as many classmates as we did without the help from many of you, especially my deputies, Cliff and Phil. As long as I continue as their CHIEF we will not rest until the 13 missing have been found.
Lisa Dowling a big Thank You for your flower donations, it added just what the picnic tables needed. CLASS from the Class of 68.
Lastly, a big thank you to Ro Faiola for her continued work on the blog. We all missed you more than you can imagine.
Please post your comments on OUR blog, let's keep this going well past our 50th.

THE ESSAY PROJECT

First I want to thank Cliff Cayer for his brilliant idea. The Essay Project is truly a wonderful keepsake for all of us that contributed. In fact it has proved to be so meaningful to some, that I'm hoping that we can continue the collection and add to it after the reunion. There is one small announcement that I'd like to make. Some of the essay writers did not contact Cliff in time to have their email addresses included.
I think we may want to have a voluntary classmate directory for emails , so that we don't lose the connections that Patti, Judi, Cliff, Bruce, Phil and others have worked so hard to form. There will be a sign up sheet at the reunion, so that you can enter your name and email address if you want to be included. If you can't attend the reunion, please Email me!
Now I have to tell you that I won't have the pleasure of seeing any of you in person this weekend. We have had a medical emergency here at home and if that isn't enough, one of my family members is missing in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Georgia/Tennessee border.
I expect lots of pictures and lots of details. DETAILS, I TELL YOU! This blog will go on as long as there is interest so carry on and have a drink for me, maybe more than one. AGAIN, ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK!

AS THE WOOD TURNS

(sorry Lou, couldn't help myself)
Subject: Norm Abrams Watch Out
Okay Gang,
If you are interested in seeing what I look like now, so you can easily identify me at the reunion. Let me tell you where to go:
www.expertvillage.com, click on "Our Experts", click on "L" and scroll down to my name. There you will find a selection of instructional videos I did this spring on woodturning. A career I really should have pursued when I grew up, if I knew about it then. Sorry Cliff, no slide rule used in the making of the videos.
See you on the 28th.
lou (Zabohonski)

WHO'S SAYING WHAT

"I was thinking about the hours of the reunion and it struck me; Do you realize that about the time everything starts to wind down, our classmates who came in from the left coast will still be going strong? And then we have Bob from Alaska. When the sun goes down so early, will he think its late autumn?"
"Let's hope the weather cooperates - we had a heat wave last week ( 95 - 100 degrees for 4 days), but now we've gone in the other direction and it's barely 60 and rainy with the same forecast until Friday. So who knows..."
"It is strange what one remembers, eh?"
"I'll get my pictures together this weekend so we can exchange 30 years worth of history."
"This is, and has been, quite an adventure and it's not over yet. In fact, it may just be beginning!"

OLD BIRD or SPRING CHICKEN?

"I wish I had Cathy Smulski's wit and the wisdom that some of the others seemed to have gained. But alas, I'm still just Karen Tatum Arasimowicz and I have earned every wrinkle and pound that I have gained.
I remember Coach Eaton always said, "Don't panic, adjust" and I think I have adjusted well for an old bird."
Whenever a woman looked much younger than her age, my mom always described her as a "spring chicken". So I must respectfully disagree with Karen. I don't see an "old bird" in this picture, but I definitely see a lovely woman, looking far younger than her years with that twinkle of experience in her eyes.

LIFE ACCORDING TO CATHERINE SMULSKI WESTOVER

Summary of Life

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

2) When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person

4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

7) Never hold a dust-buster and a cat at the same time.

8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2) Wrinkles don't hurt.

3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts

4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1 -- You believe in Santa Claus.

2 -- You don't believe in Santa Claus.

3 -- You are Santa Claus.

4 -- You look like Santa Claus.

SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . not peeing in your pants.

At age 12 success is . . having friends.

At age 17 success is . having a driver's license.

At age 35 success is . having money.

At age 50 success is .. . having money.

At age 70 success is . . having a driver license.

At age 75 success is . having friends.

At age 80 success is . . not peeing in your pants.

Try to forget the troubles that pass your way;

BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.

Have a wonderful day with many smiles

THEY LIKE US, THEY REALLY LIKE US.....

It seems that we have fans of our little blog. Actually it's one fan. But hey..... Paula Smith Plocharczyk, '67 let Pat Dezi know that she's following our little corner of the internet and she sent this great tidbit from her 1967 yearbook. Thanks Paula.
NO CAPTION NECESSARY

MY APOLOGIES

Phil Bruzas sent this wonderful picture, taken at the New Britain Sports Hall of Fame Dinner on April 10th. Somehow I lost it among all of my clippings and files. I finally found it this morning and could not wait to share this with you.

Please enjoy the pictures of Mr MCNamara, Coach Eaton and CCSU Athletic Directer C.J. Jones and His Woman's Basketball Coach Beryl Piper. I will never miss another one of these dinners. Phil B.

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Among other titles, Cliff Cayer can now claim to be Class Statistician. Cliff put together a GPS of sorts for the Class of 1968. Some of the numbers are not surprising, but some seem to be unique. Who would have thought that we would have as many alum living in New Mexico, as in New York? I say unique, not surprising, because after visiting the beautiful state of New Mexico, I can honestly say I would move there in a heartbeat. Of course, I would have to bring James in an urn, because he would never willingly leave the Mid-Atlantic. Thank you Cliff and Patti for "putting us in our place".

ALASKA OR BUST

I have been trying to write something profound for the blog for awhile with out success so here goes a bit off the top of my head. While this is essentially for me, I think this is also for those of you who are sitting on the fence regarding attending the reunion. I am sure there is even a smaller number of you who remember me and perhaps you may be interested in renewing or starting a friendship at the event. I feel this reunion is going to be a memorable event and I want to encourage you to attend with the hope that it can put high school experience in a better light, making your future experiences that much brighter. I have had virtually no contact with classmates since high school .Probably as some other classmates may feel, my dominant memories of my early years in New Britain and finally in high school were not positive. As years have passed my own sense of self and my self image has grown/improved. I have come to understand that the lonely times in high school were my own responsibility. Heck, we were all only children with varying levels of maturity. The years have allowed me to see that what I thought were superficial friendships and spectator-only involvement in classes, plays, athletic events provided a solid foundation for future learning. I thank all of my classmates now for what you gave me by just being yourselves. My life experience since high school have been blessings. Not always great, many truly sucked actually, but they have led to me being happy with who I am. I hope the same for all of you. I want to assure those of you still having hard times that contentment is possible. For those of you who don't read classmates.com, I immediately went to Alaska after high school, worked on Dall Sheep, Grizzlies, Caribou etc in many beautiful places. I even sued the federal government and won (sex discrimination). I homesteaded in the wilderness 100 miles from the closest road, earned a terminal degree, grew in a loving relationship, adopted a child and built a home. I am proud to say that our child just finished in the top of his class in math. Last night during my son's graduation party we watched sea lions, humpback and killer whales go by in the evening sun. I found that what Emerson wrote about thinking you can or can't making your reality is right on. The reason I mention all of this is to share, hoping we will all do the same at the reunion. One thing I learned in bush Alaska is something that many of you probably already knew in high school. It is the importance of sharing experiences. Subsistence living can be tough with dying a real likelihood all too often. Sharing experiences is a great way to avoid future dangers and creates abond between people that is truly valuable and forever. Here are some of my good memories from High School which I hope some of you remember. Ms. Grant was truly the most inspiring teacher I have ever had. She believed in each of us and the potential of good in the human spirit. I liked other teachers but no one gave me the energy of knowing that there is a "good" that we can all reach for. I have kept in contact with her very sporadically and most recently found she is still teaching high school in Seattle , still inspiring kids. A life well lived . I think of all my fishing/hunting buddies and the good times we shared close to what I know is our fundamental connection to the world around us. I think about the young women who sat next to me in 10th grade English and 11th grade geometry . You reached out and made me feel I was worthy and liked. I apologize for not reciprocating more and want you to know your friendliness eventually enabled me to develop an awesome and lifetime relationship with my soulmate Sylvia who unfortunately won't be able to attend our 40th reunion. I think about the friends I had in scouting and the laughter/learning/values and much more we shared in a safe environment. To close, what hopefully has not been too long for the blog, I want to promise you I will listen to your stories of your kids at the reunion. Please allow me to tell you one of my own . We have 108 stairs leading from our parking area to our house. They keep us in shape and also give one's mind time to wander. A few years ago my son and I were walking up them and I was fretting about a work situation which I did all too much back then. He obviously had enough, stopped me and said, " Don't look at the stair behind you or the stair in front of you, just the stair you are on. Don't think about anything but what you can see from that stair. Is everything not perfect?" I saw the light in his face and knew it was in all of us. Looking forward to seeing the light in your faces at the reunion. Always wishing you the best, bob piorkowski

YA GOTTA LOVE THIS GUY

Ro,
In an early blog you challenged those of us who did not attend the 25th to post a picture of ourselves from that time, attached is mine.
Here's an addition to the blog if you want.
Thoughts from one of the Lost Boys, i.e. until Patti found me. I am definitely going to the reunion and I challenge those who haven't yet committed to going to come and join us. As Ro pointed out don't worry about your looks. Reality is at this point we probably look more like our parents. Heck, I'm almost twice the person I was when I graduated. Take it as a challenge, try and identify the parents from the high school pictures of their kids. If you don't want to go because of the way you turned out, give it up. I used that excuse for the 25th reunion and regret it now. Herr Koch said he had a map when he graduated. Well I tried winging it and it shows. You could give me the title of Class Underachiever if you want. It wasn't until about 5 years ago that I realized what I should have been when I grew up. Come to the reunion if you are interested in details. I did have some successes. Most notably it took a military assignment to Germany to find a "Polish" girl from the eastside of Detroit, the city not the burbs. I proposed after knowing her a month after we met and we were married a month later. That has lasted over 31 years. The way I look at this reunion is a get together of a family that has been apart for 40 years. For me, I realized that I grew up with a good sized group of the graduating class, i.e. from first grade through high school. If that ain't like family I don't know what is. And, the excuse for not going because I'm afraid I won't remember, I figure everyone will help. Take this from someone with the memory of a sieve. I have gone over the yearbook a number of time looking at the pictures and the notes and the memories just aren't coming back that easily from the recesses of my mind. But that's a big reason for me going. I left too much behind and regret it now. Regarding the notes, Peggy and Ursula, I am sorry I was so annoying in Physics. Anyway, I am making the time and taking the road trip. I hope to see most of the class at the reunion.
